About This Elephant Face Coloring Page

Hello there classroom and family artists. Here is a cheerful Elephant Face coloring page that sparks big imaginations and gentle learning. Elephants have expressive eyes, long trunks, and large ears that make them fun to color with different shades. Notice the folds on the trunk, and try layering light gray and darker gray to show texture and shape. For classroom centers, try a matching activity where children find fun elephant facts to pair with their colored pages, then display them on a bulletin board for a wild gallery. At home, this printable works well for rainy afternoon projects, and it pairs nicely with storytime books about savannas and animal families. You can turn coloring into a guessing game by asking kids to pick colors they think the elephant might wear, and then talk about why some elephants are darker or lighter. For a creative extension, have kids draw a background habitat, write a short sentence about the elephant, or glue on recycled paper leaves to create a 3D scene. Enjoy the coloring and learning together.

Coloring Tips & Techniques

Use soft gray for the face, and darker gray to shade the ear folds and trunk lines. Add a pink wash inside the ears and around the cheeks for warmth. Try light blue or green for the background, and use short strokes to follow the trunk lines to create texture and depth.
